Welcome to Vietnam. Arriving at Tan San Nhat International Airport, Snail Adventure Tour’s  guide and driver will greet and pick you up to the hotel at the heart of Ho Chi Minh City . Ho Chi Minh City or fomer  Saigon  with nickname “the pearl of Far East” . Saigon, the largest and busiest of Vietnam’s cities is surely one of the most evocative place names in Asia. The most Western in atmosphere of Vietnam’s cities, Ho Chi Minh City. It is a city of amazing contrasts: elegant new international hotels, exclusive restaurants and trendy bars side-by-side with roadside noodle stalls, street children and vociferous cyclo drivers. Golf courses, bowling alleys and shopping malls vie for space with markets, pagodas and karaoke rooms. Bustling, booming, crowded, noisy – all words that  barely scratch the surface of the addictive and often mesmerising chaos that is Saigon. And yet there are the elegant colonial French boulevards and buildings, the Cathedral, the riverfront, the quiet moments at a sidewalk cafe watching the world literally go by you at breakneck speed.  Arriving in hotel, do check in and have relax by your own. If the time permits, we will spend half day city to visit some highlights of Ho Chi Minh city such as War Remnants Museum,  Sai Gon Central Post office, Independence Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral and Ben Thanh Market,, return to hotel for regroup and briefing itinerary before going out for dinner.
